It looks more close to Leucas hamiltoniana the correct name is Leucas montana. Please see a type image I took from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
There are some variations on it, but could be assessed if only I receive specimens. Is it possible to get some specimens ?

I shall try for the specimen if found again. By the way it is not listed in Nepal.

It is a tentative identification only. I can confirm it if I see the specimen. I find something interesting on it especially on the hairs.

I shall try if I can find a one !

This Leucas sp is from Satpura Tiger Reserve

Photographed on – 11-10-09

I think it is Leucas montana

Please confirm the id

To me looks different from other images at Leucas montana

Yes there are variation in this image from the typical L. montana. If I receive this specimen I can tell more about it. It is to be examined. For the time being it can be treated under L. montana. Even the specimen from different localities (say Tirupati and from Karnataka) looks different. Thorough examination is required. I will do it if I get more photographs and specimen.
